An Ode to Two-Finger Scrolling - jimbrady - 05-16-2007
I thought it was gimmicky until I tried it in earnest. Two-Finger Scrolling is the best human-interface development since the mouse. I predict the iPhone's implementation of similar tech will be the single greatest 'gee-whiz' factor the product offers.
Mark my words.
If you're not feelin' me on this, open a Photoshop doc at 100% on your MacBook / Pro and start editing and shifting as if you had a huge hard-copy on the table in front of you.

I agree. I used to think UControl was sliced bread, but 2 finger scrolling is amazing, and very intuitive.
When I had to use one of my friend's Vista laptops it drove me crazy that the scroll thing was on the right hand side and difficult to use.

What is it?

Yeah, I really like it too. Only been using it for a couple weeks.
found this via google: http://everythingapple.blogspot.com/2005/08/two-finger-scrolling-rocks-my-world.html
I also found this, which enables such scrolling on older powerbooks!

I hate moving back and forth between my personal MBP and my work PC laptop precisely because the PC doesn't have two-finger scrolling. If I had a dollar for every time I've unconsciencely tried to use it on the PC, I wouldn't have to work and could spend all my time using it on my MBP. :-)

Sorry, IBM keyboards with the scroll button still kick all ass. I really wish apple had a pink nipple in their laptops. Coupled with the "scroll" button, the combo beats two-finger scrolling hands-down.

Fingers down sorry.

It's OK.
I still like five-finger discounts better.

[quote h']What is it?
With recent Apple laptops, you put two fingers on the trackpad to scroll within any window... vertical or horizontal--if the cursor is positioned over a scroll-able window, you can scroll.
I feel limited when working on my desktop, by not having a trackpad to massage.
